JACOB FAULK, F ST.' LOUIS, MISSOURI COGKING, UTENSIL Application led November 18, 1925. Serial No. 69,799.

utensils having the general advantages ofv aluminum but without the marked disadvantages thereof may be provided.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then consists ofthe means hereinafter fully described and4 'particularly pointed out in the claims, the annexed drawing and the following description setting forth in detail certain construction embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting, however, but a few of the various forms in which the principle of the invention may be used. Y

In said annexed drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section through a utensil constructed in accordance with my invention; Figs-2 and 3 are plan views of insert plates that may be employed; and Fi s.

4 and 5 are sectional details showing mo iiied constructions.

In constructing utensils to obviate the tendencies of aluminum above mentioned, I may employ aluminum generally for the wall of the utensils but use a dissimilar metal, for

instance iron or nickel or thelike, galvanizedv iron, tinid iron, steel, etc., in the bottom or portion subjected to and receiving the direct heat. Preferably I incorporate the dissimilar metal with the aluminum in the bottom. This may be as a layer of, aluminum 4o and one of the dissimilar metal orthe dissimilar metal may be interposed between layers of aluminum, being incorporated as at 1 with the aluminum 2 cast thereabout (Fig. l). Or the dissimilar metal 1 maybe assembled a ainst the 4bottom 2a and a cover layer of uminum v2b is then secured there over as desired, for instance by welding (Fig.

4), or riveting (Fig. 5 The dissimilar metal may take various orms as the shapes of the utensils and the conditions ,in view .gards the features herein described, provided determine. A plate of iron for instance, as a plain disk la' (Fig. 3) or a perforated disk 1b (Fig. 2)/ will ordinarily be a convenient .y form for utensils of the general character shown in Fig. l. Plates, sheets, grids, or V strips however, may be employed as desired.

` Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as rethestructure stated by an of the following claims or the equivalent o such stated struc ture be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention 1. The combination with a cast aluminum cooking vessel comprising ahottom wall and side walls, of a plate of yiron, nickel, or equivalent metal interposedand rigidly held between inner and outer layers of aluminum of the bottom vwall thereof.

2. The combination with a cooking vessel formed of relatively thick aluminum and having an aluminum heat-receiving wall, of a plate of metal of greater stiffness than aluminum interposed between the inner and outer surfaces of the heat receiving wall of said vessel and rigidly. secured .thereto to prevent the" warpage of said wall under the eiect of heat. lso i Signed by methis 13th day of November, 1925. y JACOB` FAULK.
